I've had a number of blogs in the past; a year long stunt about attempting to become a happier human, a  joint blog with my boyfriend battling the differences of opinions between emotion (me) and logic (him), and an attempt (that lasted about 2 weeks..) to spark a world-changing dialogue about what it means to be a women with Stay Lady Strong

THIS blog is going to be about my journey in my 24th year to become STRONGER, eat well, and live happily. I capitalize “stronger” because it should be my main focus for the next 365 days. 

Luckily, I already get off on eating kale, quinoa, chia seeds, and other health wonders. (Which I believe directly correlates with my mostly-happy demeanor... that and the mostly-awesome life I live - I'm basically blissed out everyday; with new job, my long-term, live-in boyfriend, my kickass friends, my packed social calendar, etc.) However, eating healthy and living happy aside, I could majorly improve on my workout habits. 

It’s not necessarily that I have a history of not being active. I danced/cheered throughout high school and then danced some more in college, plus added yoga and pilates to the mix. I still practice yoga to an extent and pilates when I can… but cardio? ...Are zombies chasing me? (and even if they are.. would it be so bad to join them?) Weights? Yes, I consider lifting 5 pounds a good day. Interval training? yeah, right. Push ups? I’ll be resting in childs pose... 

You see, in yoga they (see the light in me and) thank me for showing up. I have an option to rest whenever needed! I like that kind of thing; low-key, minimal commitment, let’s just om out for a while, shall we? 

THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE! Well, not change but evolve… Yoga is a beautiful practice and I never regret a session but downward dog isn’t the only thing I want to be a master of. I’m tired of being tired after a block of running. I don’t want my heart beating out of control to be screaming please, thud thud thud thud, stop! I want it to be like yeah, girl. I feel good - keep workin’.

So, overall, I want to be kind to myself (I am a semi-yogi, after all) but also firm. I don’t want to give up at the first feeling of fatigue. I will be recording my (hopeful!) progress - the highs, the lows, random opinions or thoughts, and the occasional super foods recipe.

Feel free to revel in the chaos.
